I am also bad with the Emerald cocoa almonds, jicama, peanuts with diet mountain dew (I put them in it!). I have been bad lately with sweet potatoes. I have been eating at least 2 a day. NOT GOOD!!

I'm sure you realize that sweet potatoes aren't on Rung 4!

Re: legal foods that cause undeniable cravings

I have a problem with coffee. Coffee (and decaf) causes me to get hungry and crave foods. I love coffee so this is not great but I am sort of managing it.

I noticed that since around Christmas my breakfasts just aren't keeping me full anymore. Then it dawned on me that was when I got my new coffeemaker and I've been having a cup of coffee every morning. Haven't had caffeine in years and I drink it black or with a little cream (no sweetener) but the coffee has to be it.

It's not really bad but I find that I am looking at the clock and waiting for lunchtime...didn't do that before. As you mentioned, this is not great but I'm really enjoying my coffee so I'm dealing with it.

p.s. Oddly enough, this doesn't happen when I have tea in the morning.

Carrots and broccoli KILL me. I have no clue why, but if I have either, I'm literally starving within minutes. I try to avoid both.

That's like me and green beans. They make me super hungry after eating them, so they're kicked outta my diet lol.

Anything made with cream cheese and sweetened. I will eat the whole thing.

Mine might be the weirdest one yet . Chia seeds and Hemp seeds. I have those and I can't stop eating.

Re: legal foods that cause undeniable cravings

anything with the most remote relationship to something sweet sends me into a downward spiral.

the atkins nutritional campaigns that's everywhere saying "freedom from sugar" with pictures of candy bars makes me very very angry. they're also 50% off at kroger here right now plastered all over the "health food" section.

extremely unethical.

I have trouble with splenda desserts too...these also cause me to have cravings. I tried Atkins a few years ago and I'm sure it's the low-carb alternative treats that did me in. This go around I'm not doing any low-carb desserts in induction.

Also, any nuts that are salted or dry-roasted get me

Re: legal foods that cause undeniable cravings

Oh my gosh Irish, those CLOUDS almost did me in The cream cheese and splenda are a definite NO, but add pumpkin to it, and I'm fine .
